I think that Mini Brands Create is trying to be more realistic while Miniverse is trying to be more fun and whimsical, because the whole Mini Brands- Brand is realism. It is supposed to be real life sized things but small. Real grocery store ingredients don’t really have those fun sun whimsical colorful stuff

VID IDEA: all extra resin, groceries and other supplies from mini verse get mixed to create a franken-verse! love u jackie! 😍

I think part of the problem is that people are mistaking the “Zuru Mini Brands Create” for the “MGA MiniVerse Make It Mini food”! MGA MiniVerse actually has a warning that it’s NOT suitable for children under 3 and not suitable for kids under 8 while Zuru Mini Brands Create promotes that it’s for kids 3+ AND has some that comes SCENTED which encourages them to SNIFF the resin!!! So why is the “MiniVerse” being recalled, in my opinion it should have been the “Mini Beands Create”!

My Husband and I enjoy these kits. We would recommend your channel to everyone who had their child asking for any of these kits. You actually explain things. I'm hoping now that they listened to us. My Husband thinks that someone blindly bought one for their child, without understanding what it was, and their child made it unsupervised and burned themselves because they didn't know to be careful. Which is very sad. I hope they are able to come back to stores...in the crafting section.

Yes, the recall is active, my store had us go through and collect all the ones containing resin. If you did buy any, I believe there is a number you can call about it. I'm so glad they're finally doing something about this, though! I had parents wanting to buy it for their little ones, and I had to give them the brief run down of resin in my checkout lane just to make sure they stayed safe before this.

FYI, the mini brands UV light has a very short lifespan and dies not long after making the project. Unfortunately you can not replace the batteries, so it really is a waste of plastic.

It is regrettable that we are losing an enjoyable activity due to the negligence of adults who fail to supervise children, resulting in their injuries.

Don't worry! The new miniverse seties slated to come out this summer/fall all have a new formula resin and will be available to purchase. There are a bunch of new series including a new cafe, diner, and lifestyle, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Beetlejuice, siracha, and a Hershey's set, along with others.

Hellooo nerdEcrafter so a little story time. My cousin is 11 she bought the miniverse and was doing it. I was over at her house and said "don't get to close to the resin it has a really strong smell." She didn't believe me and she was literally right above the resin she started feeling sick with a bad headache I felt so bad but I tried to warn her :/

I have been WAITING for someone to put these projects in a head-to-head 'contest'. Thank you!!

I got the ultra rare as a gift and while watching the intro to this video I went and checked it. Despite me curing it for the full 5 minutes with the light, the center was still liquid and pressing down on the top separated the cured resin from the edge, allowing the uncured resin to seep out. I had always kind of suspected these kits would be problematic. UV resin needs full exposure to cure, and a lot of these kits have opaque items added to the resin, or layered with it in a way that makes it impossible to fully cure.

Someone in a canadian fb miniverse group reached out to the company about the recall!! They said it was fue to the resin not being safe ("irritation" was the reason quoted) BUT have allegedly made a new resin that doesn't "contain the irritant"???? Which I don't think is possible, to have a "safe" resin!! Happy to send along the screenshots if wanted!

lol the recall is hilarious, they've been going for what 2 years and no one thought it was resin? XD hopefully they'll put an age restriction on them so they can still be around. I love them but don't have them. perfect for dolls houses!

it's funny because the mini brad are supposed to be more "elegant", but to me they look more of a low quality copy... Sure the projects are cute, but packaging for items are more lazy, you end up with 50 lamps you'll never use, and I HATE the fact the list doesn't show pictures of the projects, but drawings of the project. It's sad because the projects are actually cute

In germany we called this cake "Schwarzwälder Kirsch torte"🥰 and i love it

Mini brands feels way less like it's aggressively for kids than miniverse in packaging. However the fact that is is so "adult" allure makes it seem like it's the one ACTUALLY trying hardest to attract little kids

I prefer the Miniverse visuals, because that silly sun is so cute, and I'm not a serious chef. The Blackforest cake is called Schwartzwald cake here in Finland, because the area in Germany where it originates from is called Schwartzwald - or, Black forest in English.

I love that both you and Hopescope talk about each other's videos😊

My favorite part of this whole video is when you saw the apple slices and was like EVERYTHING STOP lol. I would've reacted the same way lol
